Dining can be enjoyed in your own suite, or you can join the sparkling company and flowing conversation in the dining room, or out on the terrace. Whether fishing, swimming, boating, bush walking or simply relaxing by the lake, you are sure of an unforgettable experience.
Set on a bush covered peninsula, with breathtaking views to the stark grandeur of Mt Tarawera, is the ultimate opportunity for relaxation. Like a gem, Solitaire Lodge well compliments its setting and is recognised as one of New Zealands foremost luxury Lodges. The surrounding lake is more than just beautiful, it consistantly yields the largest number of trophy sized rainbow trout in the southern hemisphere. The Rotorua thermal region, with its land of bubbling mud pools, steaming hot springs and geysers continue to be a focal point for the active Maori culture. Te Wairoa, the Maori village, which was buried by the eruption of Mt Tarawera in 1886 is an important archeological centre for the area.
